The Barefoot Players

Maureen: Salutations, I’m Maureen! This is my first summer as a Barefoot Player and I’m excited to explore SCIENCE. This summer, you can spot me dancing, singing and playing games outside! My favourite type of science is chemistry. I love using the scientific method to create experiments with my friends. What kind of experiments do you want to try?

Evan: Hey, hey, hey! I'm Evan and I'm a returning Barefoot Player from last summer. Just like last summer, you can catch me dancing around and playing my guitar throughout the show! My favourite type of science is environmental sciences where you can learn about nature and how it works like the water cycle or photosynthesis. Besides acting, playing guitar, and science, I also love listening to all sorts of new music, running, and trying out smoothie recipes at home. Can't wait to see ya at the show!

Carrie: Hey! My name's Carrie, and I'm very excited for my first summer as a Barefoot Player! Let's go on a scientific adventure together and see what we can discover!
